What families and students say.
A few experiences from the Talk 2 Kelly community.
I am not sure who coined the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child,” but clearly they had Kelly and Carly in mind. I could not imagine parenting our school age children without them.
Through every phase of development, Kelly and Carly have supported both our sons. And they adapted to whatever changes and milestones were required for areas of growth for both boys. They are intelligent, kind, supportive and have empowered our children to see that each challenge can result in a successful outcome. And have done so with positive energy and a sense of humor.
They have helped nurture our sons into confident, well organized, thoughtful individuals.
Kelly is on the forefront of education and speech therapy. She’s an exceptional speech therapist who always has the child’s best interest at heart. What I love most about working with Kelly is the ongoing communication she provides. Kelly is highly responsive and takes a holistic approach with her work. My son looks forward to his time with her each week. Kelly has helped my son not only to improve his language, but also his confidence.
Kelly and Carly have helped me become more confident in my academic abilities. They have shaped my approach to putting forth my best effort on every assignment. My writing and organization skills have become one of my strengths thanks to their guidance. Kelly emphasized how to tie together my thoughts in longer writing assignments, and Carly demonstrated how to plan for long-term projects. I utilize all the skills they have taught me in all aspects of my life. I owe them a debt of gratitude.
